How do I let a CentOS 8 client make use of the shared printers advertised by
CUPS on the network? In CentOS 6, this was just a matter in a checkbox
"Show printers shared by other systems" on the CUPS Admin page. Is
this function still available somehow? Manually adding all the shared printers
on every client would be painful.

It's the CentOS 8 CUPS client that doesn't offer to use shared printers. Does CUPS 2.x perhaps have some hidden setting to operate as a client vs. as a server? I've never had to configure that before. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.
